Hello,

My SONY DSC T300 digital camera starts to vibrate very strongly after taking about 10 pictures... the image shakes uncontrollably and I can no longer focus it... Has anyone experienced this kind of problem and how can it be resolved?
I bought this camera in Thailand three months ago because I lost mine there... the manual is therefore in English and I can't use it.. If any of you can help me, thank you... 
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

Same problem with a DSC-T300 purchased in the USA in April 2008. It’s an issue with the lens (see the Sony.com site regarding this problem with the DSC-T20). It was repaired in the USA in April 2009 under warranty, and the lens was replaced.
The same malfunction has just occurred after 8 months. I am in negotiations with Sony US to have it repaired again. Apparently, Sony has a defect with the lenses mounted on the DSC T-20 and T-300.

Thank you Dany for your response... in fact I think I only have to throw my device in the trash and go buy another one elsewhere... because Sony doesn't want to know anything... not very customer-friendly... but maybe they don't need that... Best regards and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones... Marie Jo

I have the same problem with a SONY DSC-T300 bought in 2008 in FRANCE. I contacted SONY's customer service, and since the warranty had expired, I didn't have it repaired because apparently the cost would be high. I bought this device for nearly 300 €, and I find it shameful on SONY's part not to have covered it under warranty at the time. I will not promote SONY at all, quite the opposite, and from this day on, I will not buy any devices from this brand. I'm also going to throw it in the trash. Jean-Pierre

Hello,
I had the same issue with my Sony device, totally crippling for its use.
So I switched to another device (Sony expert compact), but while browsing online I came across methods that could solve this problem, apparently related to the steadyshot function (image stabilizer):

http://crisqv.blogspot.com/2013/10/sony-dsc-t300-vibrating-problem.html
There are 2 methods, the second one is quite drastic as it involves opening the device to remove a component.

Another method:
Try a power reset on the camera and check if that helps:
Turn off the camera.
Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Let the camera sit without power for 30 seconds.
Reinsert the battery into the battery compartment.
Turn on the camera.
Attempt to press the MENU button.

Hello,

For several Sonu DCS-XXX references, the vibration problem is very simple.

Without any technical knowledge, in 10 minutes and with only a small PHOO cross screwdriver to remove the small screws (2 euros at any hardware store), you will easily be able to solve it.

The vibration comes from a malfunction of a gadget (the image stabilizer). You just need to disconnect it. It's located behind the lens.

You'll find several videos on YouTube showing how to do it.

The simplest one in my opinion:

Don't panic if the device being handled is not exactly the same as yours; the inside is very similar, if not identical.

Happy repairing,

Gilles

Thank you for the information; unfortunately, the video is not accessible.
Do you have more precise information on how to disconnect the stabilizer?
Thank you for your contribution.

Thank you, as I had this issue with an SLT A57 camera, and it was enough to set the stabilizer to OFF in the video menu, and not in the photo menu, for the problem to be resolved. Thank you balatazart.

I have the same problem with my DSC-T20 camera, the camera vibrated non-stop as soon as I turned it on. I took the camera apart and under the lens (behind the lens) I removed some kind of cable (I don't know the name =S) that was hooked on some sort of clip and now there is no vibration at all. I don't know if it's advisable to remove this thing, but there is no more vibration now.

I suppose you have disconnected the image stabilization device.
When it is malfunctioning, this should cause unwanted vibrations in the optical stabilization actuator.

Yes, it was unpleasant, the images came out blurry, for now the device is in perfect condition.

Thank you for your response, but I don't dare touch the device; if I take it apart, I won't know how to put it back together!!!! Sigh...

Hello
Maybe the problem would be solved if you disable the optical stabilization (from your device's settings menu)

I did it on a digital camera, and it worked. Only intervene in the video settings.

On SONY DSCT300, I'm encountering the same Oscillation problem right from the start of the device, and the photos are blurry. I just sent a message to SONY customer service and I'm waiting for a response.

Hello Jean Pierre, my problem is that I bought the device in Thailand (from a store that only sells cameras, with the invoice to prove it) but Sony doesn't want to hear anything... Because abroad... no warranty.. So it’s better to choose another brand because they are not serious at all!!!

I have the same problem and have no answer; the device is out of warranty.
Do you have an answer???

It seems that Inesia has one, as for me, I just bought the Nikon D5000 Reflex... Goodbye Sony and its poor after-sales service..... Inesia's phone number is 06.17.06.53.74.. I hope you find a solution. Best regards, Marie JO... Good luck...

Hello,
I have the same vibration issue with a SONY DSC H3, which is no longer under warranty. I got a quote for the repair: 230 euros!
I asked to retrieve it for the sum of 25 euros (the price of the quote).

I have the same problem with my T300 that was given to me two years ago... it started acting up after two years, who knows where it came from... I'm hesitant to switch to the Canon IXUS 130 or to repair the Sony; considering how much the device cost back then, it's quite disappointing... what would be the best solution then?

Hello,

I have a DSC-TX7 that has been vibrating for months. I bought it abroad, and I don't know where to send it for repair. I'm still under warranty.

I'm surprised that with so many products, they haven't managed to eliminate this issue. I had the T100, T200, and T900 before, and they all seem to be affected by this problem according to what I've read.

Thank you in advance.
